Modify config file using CLI

[smisra1]

I wanted to modify my config file. But I can't escape the decimal point.
I have added the cli code below:

subprocess.run([sys.executable,
                "-m", "spacy", "init",
                "config", "configs.cfg",
                "--lang", "en",
                "--pipeline", "spancat",
                "--optimize", "efficiency"])

subprocess.run([sys.executable,
                "-m", "spacy", "init", "vectors",
                "vectors_loc", r"C:\Users\smisr\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\action_spancat\data\word2vec_final.txt"])

subprocess.run([sys.executable,
                "-m", "spacy",
                "train", "configs.cfg",
                "--output", "./output_1",
                "--paths.train",
                "./train_data.spacy",
                "--paths.dev", "./dev_data.spacy",
                "--nlp.batch_size 128",
                "--training.max_epochs 100",
                "--training.dropout 0.4",
                "--training.optimizer.l2 0.001",
                "--training.optimizer.learn_rate 0.001"
                ])

I encountered the the error:

ℹ Saving to output directory: output_1
ℹ Using CPU
✘ Error parsing config overrides
training -> dropout 0 -> 4   not a section value that can be overwritten

Process finished with exit code 0

How could I escape the decimal?

Hi @smisra1! Try separating the argument values from the arguments:

subprocess.run([sys.executable,
                "-m", "spacy",
                "train", "configs.cfg",
                "--output", "./output_1",
                "--paths.train",
                "./train_data.spacy",
                "--paths.dev", "./dev_data.spacy",
                "--nlp.batch_size", "128",
                "--training.max_epochs", "100",
                "--training.dropout", "0.4",
                "--training.optimizer.l2", "0.001",
                "--training.optimizer.learn_rate", "0.001"
                ])

Thank you! That was a silly mistake on my part! I completely missed it.
